Traditionally, in all of these settings survey... Semantic Sensitivities and Inconsistent Predictions: Measuring the Fragility of NLI Models Recent studies of the emergent capabilities of transformer-based Natural Language Understanding (NLU) models have indicated that they have an understanding of lexical and compositional semantics. We provide evidence that suggests these claims should be taken with a grain of salt: we find that state... Red-Teaming for Generative AI: Silver Bullet or Security Theater? In response to rising concerns surrounding the safety, security, and trustworthiness of Generative AI (GenAI) models, practitioners and regulators alike have pointed to AI red-teaming as a key component of their strategies for identifying and mitigating these risks. However, despite AI red-teaming's...
